Heat the oven to 200C/ 180C
fan/gas 6. Unroll the pastry and, keeping it on its
paper, cut out 12 discs using a 7cm round
cutter. Use the pastry discs to line a 12-hole shallow
tart tin. Put in the fridge to chill while you make the
filling.
-
Combine all the remaining
ingredients except the smoked trout in a large jug and
season well with a little pinch of salt (the trout is
already quite salty) and a good grinding of black pepper.
Mix well to combine, ensuring there are no lumps of
crème fraîche or egg.
-
Remove the tin from the fridge
and divide the trout between the pastry cases. Carefully
pour over the crème fraîche mixture, leaving a 1-2mm rim
of pastry at the top. It helps to give the mixture a stir
after each pour so the chives and lemon zest don't sink to
the bottom.
-
Bake in the oven for 18-20
mins until the pastry is golden and the filling lightly
golden and puffed up - they will sink a little after a few
minutes. Serve warm.
